| Obverse description | The municipal coat of arms of Nürtingen occupies the central field, depicted as a crowned heraldic shield featuring a stylized eagle displayed, rendered in fine stippled detail. The shield is surmounted by a mural crown, emphasizing the civic status of the issuing authority. A beaded inner border encircles the central device, separating it from the surrounding legend. The circular legend reads OBERAMTSSTADT NÜRTINGEN, distributed around the upper periphery, with the date 1918 positioned in the lower field, flanked by two five-pointed stars. |

| Additional information |
Nürtingen's iron 10 Pfennig belongs to the massive wave of municipal Notgeld issued across Germany as the imperial government's wartime metal requisitions stripped copper and nickel from civilian coinage entirely. By 1918, over a thousand German towns and cities had been forced to produce their own emergency small change, iron being the one base metal still deemed expendable enough for local use. Nürtingen, a small Württemberg town on the Neckar, was no exception.
